I am originally from New Jersey, and it is so hard to find an Italian Market in Orange and Los Angeles Counties. I was doing research on new restaurants, bakeries, and markets to try, and I came upon Cortina’s Italian Market. I happened to be in Anaheim, so I stopped there.The Good: They have a great selection of Italian canned goods, homemade sauces, deli options, baked goods (pastries and cookies), and bread. It reminded me of an Italian market I used to go to when I was younger. The cookies and cannolis had great flavor and they were fresh. The prices were reasonable for what I got.The Bad: Their parking lot is too small. I was lucky and found a parking space. I went on a weekday, but I can imagine how jammed it gets on the weekend.I rate all restaurants, bakeries, and markets by whether they are worth driving to in the future. I definitely think Cortina’s is worth a repeat visit, and I look forward to trying some more things the next time I am there.

Amazing sandwiches, amazing pizzas, amazing deli, amazing pastries and desserts, amazing wines, amazing everything! The always-packed parking lot is a testament to the popularity of this small but mighty tasty restaurant and market. Ive been a fan for two decades now, and I love bringing first timers here, witnessing their eyes light up with one bite, and hearing them murmur, Mmmmm!

Love Cortinas! Pizza, sandwiches and an awesome deli all in one. It has been a go to for a long time. The sandwiches are wonderful creations, best eaten fresh at the restaurant. The porchetta is delicious, the Cortinas special is filled with all the best italian meats and the peppers and sausages is spicy in all the right ways. We usually get a pizza with pepperoni, sausage and jalapenos, its always perfect. I dont think Ive ever had a bad pizza from Cortinas. Perfect crust, generously sauced and plenty of cheese and toppings. Finally, the deli is definitely one of my favorites! Well stocked with Italian staples, its wonderfully varied and has meats, cheeses, salads, and baked goods. There are also other things like homemade sausage, meatballs, sauces and dressings. What I love getting there as well is the pizza dough, fresh bread and fresh olive oil. You should absolutely stop by if you have the chance, everything there is worth it!

Our first time enjoying Cortinas! Although weve passed by it several times and have heard great things about them from everyone! We actually got catering and they send individual meals to everyone who ordered which actually came with a lot of food, no skimping out here! The meal came with an awesome sandwich, I ordered the Italian sub which was delicious, A great pasta that wasnt too acidic and not too oily, just right, and a cookie I did not expect, must be an in house special but it had the right amount of chocolate and walnuts. They also threw in some chips, which always complete a proper sandwich meal. They are known for their meats and the sandwich I had definitely expressed that. I hope to visit the store some more in the future!

A very popular Italian restaurant for the locals the locals in the area. There theyre phillyy cheesesteak sandwich is one of the the tastiest Ive tried. Their pizzas are thin crust and served in classic Italian style.The place gets pretty crowded during lunch, but the servers are very friendly. Highly recommended you order your food ahead of time either by phone or online. Otherwise it will take about 20 minutes for them to prepare your meal drain the busy lunchtime. There is also a deli market right beside the restaurant. Great place to look for Italian ingredients. Sadly, no espresso served 😞

Wow... Been eating here for a while but lately the quality has just taken a nose dive. I cannot in good faith recommend this place anymore. The last three times weve ordered here they have messed it up every time. And when we have called back they have never in good faith attempted to make it right.I attached the most recent pizza we ordered 5/27/22. It was supposed to be a new York pizza under their specialities however its thick and burned to a crisp....

Hidden grocery store and restaurant. Very homey, authentic with good finds. A bit expensive compared with some other stores where you can find similar products , but okay for a quick stop.

Wow wow wow. The Italian bread on the Pastrami sandwich is perfect. The Pastrami perfect. Order ahead online or by phone this place gets busy and you can see why. Everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. Clean place, well staffed, polite and very organized. Im dying to go crazy in the Italian market next door. A beautiful experience.

This review has is for the restaurant. HUGE disappointment. The food is bland. We ordered the lasagna, a sandwich, and a pizza. PASS. Unless you have 25 minutes to wait for a sandwich to be made, PASS. Save your hard earned money.Most disappointing was the staff. Curt. Rude. I watched the cashier roll her eyes at a customer because he had asked for his order to be slightly modified. After his 30 minute wait, they did not get his order right. The kitchen is incredibly slow. Disorganized. Contrary to their COVID precautions in the notes, table tops were dirty, there crumbs and food particles scattered all over the dining area, dirty trays were left on table tops.I witnessed families sitting for over 25 minutes for their orders. Children. Elderly.It took over 30 minutes for our sandwich to be prepared. The lasagna was over cooked. Soggy pasta. Pizza was bland- I am a New Yorker, I know my pizza.AVOID. This place may have been a gem in the past, but those days are long gone.
